FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card.

Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Kiss of Judas" a remarkable early 16th-century oakwood sculpture by the German School. The piece, now part of a private collection, originates from the Lower Rhine region and exemplifies the artistry of the era. Carved during the early Renaissance period, this wooden sculpture depicts an intense moment between two figures: Judas Iscariot and Jesus Christ. The intricate details in the carving bring to life their emotions and intentions. Judas, with a malevolent expression on his face, leans in to betray Jesus with a kiss—a symbol of deceit and betrayal that would lead to Christ's crucifixion. Despite its dark subject matter, there is an undeniable sense of benevolence emanating from this artwork. It captures not only the act of betrayal but also highlights themes such as forgiveness and redemption through Jesus' benediction gesture. The craftsmanship displayed in this piece reflects both Northern Renaissance influences and German artistic traditions. The use of oakwood adds depth and texture to every line carved into it—showcasing mastery over wood as a medium for sculpting. "The Kiss of Judas" serves as a poignant reminder of human nature's complexities—the duality within us all capable of both good and evil actions. This photograph allows viewers to appreciate this significant historical artwork while contemplating its timeless themes surrounding trust, loyalty, malice, and ultimately divine grace.
